Theoretically, +R is supposed to have the superior strategy for writing, at least from what I've read, but in practice the quality of the disks seems paramount. I don't buy cheap disks personally, just too big a hassle in terms of lost time and effort.

Also compatibility with your particular hardware can make a big difference. Make sure your firmware is up-to-date if you are having problems writing to a particular type of disk.

my PS2 only plays -R. and my dvd player doesnt give a damn what u put in it lol. add that to the fact that DVD-R are actually cheaper, i would go for them instead.

if ur going for Ps2 backups, DVD-R is the best.

personally, i would get a dual format burner. burn DVD-R and DVD+RW. DVD+R and DVD-RW are the weakest links imo. DVD+RW can be overwritten instead of erased then written unlike DVD-RW. plus they r faster. DVD-R costs less and works better than DVD+R.

, of course you can visit the webpage introduce from other member. In my opinion, DVD+r is still better. for writing a disc, your writer have to check the 1. speed 2. track 3. address. the address for DVD+r is more easy to find compare with DVD-R and won't easily affect from noise. { I just make it simple for us easily understand , for detail about the writing stragty, ref the webpage. }.
